Our construction project: a kindergarten on our land

We are planning our own project in Uganda:

After the completion of the process of buying land in november 2017, we fenced the whole property with a massive perimeter wall. Our property is located in
Wakiso District and in the surrounding land of Kasanje (approx. 30 minutes from Entebbe). It has the size of around 6500m². We are planning to start the construction of our kindergarten in 2019.
Also, it is important to highlight that the construction will be realised with Ugandan workers and in cooperation with our local community because it is a priority for us to support the
locals.

We would like to ask all our donaters to keep on supporting us on this new and exciting path. Once established, our project will guarantee immediate help
for orphans and vulnerable children!

Education is key...

...for a self-determined life and a human right! Kisoboka
Organisation is convinced that this must not be denied to any human being and moreover, that education and development must not be denied by poverty. We want to start with our holistic support
for Ugandan orphans and vulnerable children as early as possible in their lives. That’s why we build a Kindergarten. The early childhood is the crucial stage in one's development
and the foundation for the future life course. In this stage of life, all the major developments take place and therefore appropriate educational care and support are essential.
Unfortunately, the reality in Uganda is quite different: Out of 10 children in the respective age, 9 never attend any sort of pre-primary education. Thus significant deficits in
the areas of motivity, cognition, and social competences come as a result. This is a considerable burden for the future life course. Once they start with primary school, the children are
overwhelmed and the class size makes it almost impossible for the teachers to answer children's needs individually. The lack of pre-primary education eventually results in high dropout rates in
Ugandan primary schools: Out of 10 children who start with primary school, 7 never finish it. A self-determined life won’t be possible to live for the majority of these children. In our
Kindergarten, we want to create a safe space for the children's development and support them individually. The individual child shall always be in the centre of the educational
work, shall feel appreciated and loved.

Our main goal

We want to break with the teacher-centred teaching of prompting and repeating which is
dominating in Uganda and encourage the children to think out of the box as well as promoting their self-confidence, their creativity, their maturity, and their resilience. Besides that, we want
the children to understand that they’re unique and precious because such an atmosphere enables the best development and is the foundation for competent social interactions. The reality already
proves that children who attended pre-primary education in Uganda score on average 30 percent better results in literacy than their counterparts who were denied pre-primary education.
Furthermore, there is evidence that each year of education in Uganda translates in a 5 percent increase in future earnings. These figures highlight once again the importance of early
education.

We want to prepare the children in our Kindergarten for their future stages of life and set
the foundation for their development. Since we pursue a sustainable and long-lasting approach, we also want to accompany and support the children after they have left the
Kindergarten to make sure that they continue with their development in the best possible way.
